Remember back in early 2000 when the normally stiff and dour Al Gore began appearing in public wearing denim jeans and a big flashy smile on his face while darting his head in a fashion reminiscent of Ronald Reagan? What happened was that Al Gore was FAKING confidence. Oh yes, the appearance was there all right but it was disturbingly off-kilter. Much as he tried, you could sense that Al Gore was FAKING it mainly because he didn't REALLY feel confident. Well, much the same thing is going on with the DUmmies. Although it is still 4 months from an election that is supposed to win them the House back, the DUmmies' confidence is already SHATTERING. As a result, DUmmie DistressedAmerican, is urging his fellow DUmmies that even if they don't feel confident about the upcoming elections then, DAMN IT, they could at least FAKE confidence as you can see in this THREAD titled, "I Know That People Feel Beaten By Election Fraud, But DAMN!" So let us now watch the DUmmies exude fake confidence in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, wondering if those Al Gore prosthetic crotch enhancers are available on eBay, is in the [brackets]:
I Know That People Feel Beaten By Election Fraud, But DAMN!
[But DAMN! The UNINDICTED Karl Rove now owns ALL your Diebold machines.]
How often are posts that seek to rally the troops, encourage holding these folks accountable come November, etc. met with, "It does not matter. They will just steal it again. They have too much to lose not to!"?
[Look deep into my eyes. You are LOOOOOSING confidence. Karl Rove controls your destiny. Give up...NOW!!!"]
I know folks feel very frustrated. But, if we start thinking like that, the criminals are CERTAIN to win. They win and they laugh their asses off. I have no stomach for that!
[You have no stomach for that? Then you better not read the DUmmie FUnnies. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!]
First of all, if you admit defeat before you even start, you have taken half of the wind out of the sails from the get go. That will certainly not help us overcome any handicap we may have in terms of the voting machines, voter disenfranchisement and the like. In fact, it does nothing but destroy momentum that we should be capitalizing on right now. These fools are imploding and many are acting like not a thing has changed since the last election. While not enough has changed, much has. Number one, America is now fed up with winger policies and well aware of many of the biggest winger lies. People will not be as easily lied to again. America wants change. But, it will never go for a party that projects, "Vote for us even though we're already beaten."
[You are growing sleeeepier and sleeeeepier. Listen to my voice and repeat after me: "You are ALREADY beaten... You are ALREADY beaten..."]
Second, the methods that are being employed in these fraudulent practices are not all powerful. They are by necessity focused and targeted. They can sway the vote up to a certain point without drawing a lot of scrutiny. I do not believe that they can steal a blowout.
[You mean like that mystery box full of Democrat ballots that was mysteriously found in a Seattle warehouse that threw the gubernatorial election recount in Washington to a Democrat?]
So, the only way to beat these criminals is to BLOW THEM OUT!
[Is that you, Monica Lewinsky?]
Assuming we are defeated before the races even really get rolling is no way to BLOW THEM OUT.
[Watch the swinging watch on the chain and repeat after me: "You are ALREADY defeated...You are ALREADY defeated..."]
Republicans have no problem projecting confidence, even when they are unraveling. We have to do the same or they will have no need to steal anything. We'll lose it legitimately!
[Naw! We'll still preprogram a bunch of Diebold machines to swing our way just to stay in practice.]
If you do not have any confidence, try faking it a while. Maybe it will grow on you!
[Try faking confidence... It will make you almost as FUnnie as it did the confidence faking Al Gore. And now on to the other less than confident DUmmies...]
The Player who expects to lose will usually lose.
[Psst! You lose.]
IMO, they will steal a blowout. They know this is their last chance to keep all their evil deeds in place. The election fraud has been working for them for the last six years and they know it..... Since they control the courts and control the Congress and Control the Blackwell's that worked it for them last time, they are sitting pretty. They may be scared but they have POWER and MONEY behind them and they ain't backing down.
[We're sitting pretty and we're NOT backing down.]
I do not see the preadmitting defeat route as beneficial at all. In fact, it strikes me as a guarantee of more of the same.
[Congratulations! The School of Hard Knocks is preadmitting you to the defeatist class.]
Ohio 2005. They Turned a Landslide for US into a Landslide for THEM!
[Piece of cake. All it took was just a twist of a few Diebold knobs.]
The Diebold Defeatists don't like to talk about it, but we won in 05 in VA, NJ and CA. On Diebold machines too.
[FRAUD!!! I DEMAND a recount!!! Oh, you mean the Democrats won those races? Well, never mind. Outrage is only reserved for when Republicans win.]
Yep - we can't have it both ways.
When a (D) wins it is the people speaking
When a (R) wins it is a deep dark conspiracy
[LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!]
If we had had fair elections, we'd have won handily the last several times. But I do stand by your statements about attitude, I need to work on mine.
[Yes. Work really really hard on faking confidence. Keep practicing that big fake Al Gore smile for starters.]
I'm not saying we need to become the cartoon caricatures they've become but, there's really good reason not to be optimistic. Understand that we might be no better off after November than we are now. The GOP message machine is very powerful and November is a long way off. But this is the best chance we've had in a while to push this country in a better direction. We don't need sunny optimism.
[That's the spirit! Keep up with that gloomy lack of confidence.]
open your eyes, take your head out of the sand. the election process is fatally corrupted. they can do anything they want with these elections. they are not only very good at election fraud already but they're getting better and bolder each cycle. ome may be saying give up. others are saying that this is the first thing we have to do something about, that success rests on doing something about it. that's not defeatism, that's just pointing people in the right direction. in my opinion, anyone not loudly blowing the horn, and especially anyone OPPOSING blowing the horn on election fraud is PART OF THE PROBLEM! please, i beseach you, explain to me why the democrats are not making this the top issue in their strategy for winning anything in november.
[please, i beseach you, give up now before you endure even more disappointment.]
Make sure our base knows EXACTLY where to vote.
[At your local polling place on the first Wednesday in November.]
we are poles apart on this issue. if you consider that a "'tude" good luck swaying opinion. you haven't come close to swaying mine. neither you or gotv substantively addressed the issue of why the dems aren't putting this issue front and center. to merely reassert that it is not an issue is bogus. to suggest that obtaining a landslide victory is a reasonable straegy to overcome election fraud is, for one thing, begging the question, and for another, exremely unlikely. in my opinion they can and will alter vote counts to high levels of percentage points and dare us to do something about it. if you have evidence they're not going to do that or are not capable of doing that i'd love to see it. all evidence suggests that major manipulation has taken place and will take place in broad daylight and in large numbers.
[please smile confidently while we manipulate your vote... have a nice day.]
apparently, people are so disheartened they're not even responding to this call to action.
[please maintain that charming glumness.]
And after the blowout, we need to have our own Orange Revolution if they steal it again.
[As in Orange prison jumpsuits for the DUmmies who go BERSERK the day after the elections.]
Here is what is going down... About 6 weeks ago, I e-mailed the top editor of the Miami Herald with an idea I had on how to increase their web traffic. Much to my surprise, this editor (Tom Fiedler) got right back to me in a few hours stating that he found my proposal "intriguing" and forwarded my proposal to their online editor. The online editor also likes my idea which involves setting up a type of web forum which has never been done before in a newspaper (NOT a news forum so this idea does NOT compete with the FR.) Newspapers are uniquely able to set up such forums and I am SURE it will greatly increase the readership of the Miami Herald. Okay, the online editor likes the idea and thinks it might be worth a try on a limited basis just to try it out but here is the catch...He is so busy with other online projects that he doesn't have time or resources to expend on this one for the time being. This is KILLING me because I just KNOW this forum idea will work. The amazing thing is that it WON'T take any sophisticated software to set up this proposed forum. Pretty much just a fine tuning of existing forum software is all that is needed. I think this project can be done in your spare time (and I don't even think it would take too much time at all). Soooooooo....what do you get out of it, especially since the Miami Herald is mostly on the liberal side of the spectrum? I never discussed this aspect with the editors even for myself but I do know that if this forum works when they test it out, they will need to greatly expand it so there is a good chance they would need your services for this. Even if they don't, you can put this into your resumes plus if it does work, most likely other newspapers will want to make use of the same kind of forums so you could set it up for others. And there is the final IRONY of "vicious rightwing" Freepers who end up as the salvation of the newspapers (at least online).
If you are into setting up software and are interested in this, Freepmail me and I will go into more detail.... And remember, MUM is the word until this project is completed.< /rant>
